Three historic moments, all on the steps of Washington DC's Lincoln Memorial. The first took place three score and ten years before the last. Is there anyone alive who attended the famous concert by Marian Anderson, Martin Luther King Jr's great speech, and Barack Obama's inauguration, with Roberta Flack playing the Marian Anderson role?

Yes plenty but they are in their late forties to mid sixties, the state trooper was probably in his thirties. Some were there because of the knowledge Dr.King would speak not knowing the speech would be one for the ages and the great diva;Lady Marian Anderson was icing on the cake. Some were also there at Kent State and made on into Yasgers farm and later in Texas to hear Janis sing before her tragic homecoming, any how many veterans, officials and all. thanks for bring it up.

Hmmm. I bet there is. It would likely be an older resident of the DC area. Maybe someone politically active.
